Baby Greens Pasta Salad

from Parmesan Pine Nut & Greens Pasta Salad, the Week of May 13, 2012.
View the previous recipe for this meal.

More greens than pasta are tossed with a simple vinaigrette. Mix and match your baby greens and fresh herbs as available. Traditional basil works well, but any other variety such as Thai basil or lemon basil can work nicely too. Add more veggies, nuts or cheeses to liven it up or just leave this as simple goodness.

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces whole wheat pasta, gluten-free works too
  • 2 cups fresh basil
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 cup arugula
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced fine
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
